IMIPRAMINE HCL  (IMIPRAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat depression. It is also used with other therapies for the treatment of nighttime bed-wetting (enuresis) in children. Using this medication to treat depression may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. Imipramine can help your child control nighttime bed-wetting. Imipramine belongs to a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine) in the brain. For bed-wetting, this medication may work by blocking the effect of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the bladder.   FDA Approval Date: 1990-06-05 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Depression and bladder problems Dry mouth , constipation , sweet-tooth , dizzyness , blurry vision. I wish I never had to depend on pills to funtion in life in general. I started out taking about 50mgs of imipramine and now i'm taking 150mgs of it a day. I also take Seroquel and i'm now taking 450mgs of that a fay. ( that was something i failed to mention in my Seroquel rating ) Anyway , the main reson the psychiatrist put me on imipramine because i was experiencing urinary incontinence when i was asleep. My bladder is much better now and i only wet the bed when i'm constipated. I don't feel as depressed as i used to feel and i can't recall when i started taking imipramine. M 34

 3  pudendal neuralgia, depression/OCD Diarrhea, difficulty urinating, and inability to orgasm They told me that Imipramine at the low dose of 25 mg would not work as an antidepressant, but wow, they were wrong! It was a lovely, lovely feeling. I felt warm, secure, clear-headed, and serene. No obsessions/compulsions. It was almost like MDMA. And the sleep was heavenly. It did dull the nerve pain, too. If it weren't for the side effects, I definitely would have continued the drug. I had torrential diarrhea 2 hours after taking it, my urine stream was pin-thin, and I couldn't even get close to orgasm. I'm keeping the bottle in case I ever get constipated. F 23 1 days

 2  Pain relief, hip and back Dry mouth, trouble sleeping, restlessness, one episode of diarrhea, headache. It did relieve about 80% of the pain which was great, but not hypersensitive skin. I'm going back to my dr to seek an alternative as I doubt I could work full time with these aside effects and believe the risks associated with this drug are too great. F 32 1 days

 2  IBS I do not understand why my GI doc has put me on such medication. I took it last night, and did not sleep at all, and he said it would remove the pain and bloating. I am concern the side affects and the way I am feeling today--muscle tight and like I am rushed. Why would this doc I saw for 20 min put me on such a controveral mediation. I really hope I do not have to take this for long. I am going to take to my general doctor. F 41 1 days

 1  Pudendal Neuralgia I just reviewed this drug a few months ago, and I decided to try it again. The entire experience was vastly different. Yes, it helped my nerve pain, and it made it so I could barely feel my physical therapist touching a huge trigger point. But I couldn't THINK or FEEL. I felt apathetic yet agitated. And the best part? Gray poop with bright red blood in it. What even. F 23 1 days

 2  Relieve pain of nerve damage Insomnia, severe headache, abdominal pain, dry mouth. Commenced Imipramine 10mg for relief of pain for nerve damage caused by a parasite in the abdominal area. Tried it for two nights and had although I felt drowsy I just could not get to sleep. Had a severe headache and stomach pain, dry mouth with strong metallic taste. After speaking with the Doctor he suggested lowering the dose to 5mg. I know I do not have a great tolerance for some medications so I think it is just a totally individual thing with your reaction to medications. F 38 2 days

 2  Abdominal Wall Pain Frequent urination, painful clittoral enlargement, fellings of hopelessness, dry mouth, difficulty sleeping, difficulty breathing. The initial symptoms are just as bad as the side effects. Whenever you get a doctor that immediately diagnoses and assigns you with a mediation, watch out. I've had abdominal wall pain for almost a year, and I've seen a number of doctors who all believed that I had something different, and each time I was assigned a different medication. They all thought I was misdiagnosed by the previous doctor, yet none of them tested me for anything. "Take this and let's wait and see." People are not lab experiments. Most doctors should realize that they are playing with people's lives, and after so long it gets to be pretty irritating to keep trying new medications that in many ways make the situation worse.

 5  Depression, anxiety, eating disorde dry mouth, constipation, fast heart beat, developed some speech problems which got better when lowered dosage to 125mg, no sex drive, I found imipramine to be one of the many tried anti-depressants that worked. I was once on 300mg a day through some bad times but have been on 150mg since 2003 and now for the last month am on 125mg. Found i developed speech problems and would say the wrong words and clutter my speech. This has improved now i am on 125mg. Having headaches tho and some down moments but determined to not increase dose again. Trying to get past the withdrawral symptons. F 28 6 days

 1  Post Prostactomy incontinence Headaches, stomach cramps, constipation, muscle cramps, insomnia and indigestion. 50mg dose reduced to 25mg some improvement but for what little improvrmrnt in incontinence there was the side effects proved to be more detrimental than its benefits. I've flushed the remainder of my 90 day supply. M 63 6 days

 5  Mild Depression I'll have five minutes of dry mouth; doesn't matter. I had been on 25mg a day for a few weeks and had a scary episode with urinary blockage. Then after I took it for a couple of months where I felt happy, I suddenly stopped and was hit with a Major panic attack. I am now taking 10mg and may stop. I Hate taking drugs. I feel like I'm chained to them. But it really works great for me, even in very low doses. I guess I should just live with mild depression and get little enjoyment from anything. F 62 14 days

 3  depression My mouth is a little dry. Sweating is profuse and absurd. I take a non strenuous walk and sweat is running down my face and soaking my shirt. It's so bad that if I play a 10 minute game of ping pong I have to change all of my clothing. I like my moods. I am always a little anxious now, but I am happy enough to have fun around people. Before I took this drug, even if I knew I should be enjoying things, all I felt was a big hole where emotion should be. M 19 17 days
